Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1382 Hardship

Xiahou Zhang, who had just been outside the door for a while, peeked in. Finally, he saw Awan coming out and hurriedly went to greet her, "Miss Awan, Miss Fang San..."

"Lord Xiahou, who do you want to ask about, Miss Fang San or your Majesty?" A Wan interrupted Xiahou Zhang unhappily. He was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, "I want to ask both. Is it not okay?"

Awan was choked by Xiahou Zhang's answer and was speechless. How could he say it so naturally?

Seeing that Awan didn't respond, Xiahou Zhang tentatively called out, "Miss Awan?"

"Lord Xiahou, you might as well speak louder. Your Majesty has become unbearable. Come out and let you see clearly." Awan was obviously holding her breath, and even her words were sarcastic.

  Although Xiahou Zhang didn't know how he had offended Awan and suffered a setback, he was not confused. He didn't think he had a long life, so how could he dare to shout at Li Shengxuan to force him out?

"Lord Xiahou is silent, but doesn't want to know?" Awan raised her eyebrows. Xiahou Zhang coughed lightly and finally guessed the reason. "Miss Awan, His Majesty doesn't allow you to stay in the room. You..."

"Who wants to stay in the room?" Ah Wan put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "She has been in life-and-death situations so many times, and every time I have done that, I have to worry about it. It's rare that someone is willing to take the trouble now, I am so happy, stop talking nonsense!"

Her voice involuntarily rose a little, and Li Shengxuan in the room heard it with mixed feelings.

Fang Zilan had a fearless personality. Not to mention how many injuries she had suffered when she was a killer, she was injured every year during the years she was the Duke of Yue.

Not for anything else, just for the eternal stability of the country and peace in the world.

But Li Shengxuan doubted Fang Zilan again and again. Even though he said he chose her in Zuiyue Tower this time, he wavered after the fire in Zuiyue Tower was linked to the fire in Jiangnan Painting Boat.

Just because he didn't trust the Fang family, he also became suspicious of Zi Lan. I think she knew it very well, but she still protected him when her life was at stake...

Thinking of this, Li Shengxuan's hand holding the medicine cup trembled slightly. Fortunately, he calmed himself down the moment he felt the temperature between his fingers, so as not to spill the medicine.

The whole process of feeding medicine was quite difficult. Fang Zilan couldn't swallow anything. Li Shengxuan held her shoulders and raised her body a little, but he was afraid of touching her wound and gradually became at a loss.

This was probably the first time in his life that he was so flustered. Li Shengxuan sighed and finally called Awan in. As expected, before he finished speaking, Awan pushed the door open and ran to him, "I'm here."

With Awan's help, Li Shengxuan felt much easier feeding Fang Zilan medicine. As for changing the medicine, he should have avoided it to avoid gossip, but he didn't know whether he was worried or what, he never avoided it.

Li Shengxuan stayed by Fang Zilan's side without leaving her side until three days later, when she woke up and heaved a sigh of relief.

After the people from Jingzhao Yinfu checked the official tokens, they let Chu Bin in. He found Xu Youtong's room with ease, but before he could say anything, he heard the other party's impatient voice coming from inside, "I said, I won't see anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Bin strode in and bowed in a dignified manner, "How are you, Lord Xu?" Seeing someone breaking in, Xu Youtong was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Who are you..." A subordinate beside him immediately said with a look in his eyes, "This is the person sent by Lord Yueguogong."

Xu Youtong raised his hand to signal his men that he understood, but the puzzled look on his face did not disappear. The person in front of him had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him before.

"Sir Xu, I am the guard of the Duke of Yue. My surname is Chu." Chu Bin stood up and looked at Xu Youtong steadily. As expected, he saw the solemnity in his eyes and immediately ordered his men to retreat.

Xu Youtong looked at Chu Bin carefully before saying, "You are Chu Xiang's son, Chu Bin."

"Lord Xu actually still remembers me. He really has a good memory." Chu Bin curled his lips. Xu Youtong's expression gradually turned cold. "Why do you have Lord Fang's official token?"

"Of course it was given to me by Lord Fang." Chu Bin raised the official token in his hand, "I am now a guard of the Duke of Yue's Mansion."

Xu Youtong's scrutinizing gaze did not fade away. He had an impression of Chu Bin because of Chu Xiang, a traitor from the previous dynasty. In the Baiye Temple murder case, Chu Xiang killed countless people, including monks in the temple, innocent pilgrims, the former Shufei and the bodyguards of Prince Yuning who went to burn incense at that time, and a concubine in the prime minister's mansion, the mother of Miss Fang San, Fang Zilan...

Afterwards, Chu Xiang had already fled and disappeared, but within two days, he turned himself in. After being detained, he committed suicide in prison before being interrogated. Later, a boy who claimed to be his son came to claim his body. It was Chu Bin.

To this day, he can still recall the scene of that day: a boy, only half a man's height, laboriously dragged the body of an adult man out of the city for burial. He was harassed and cursed by everyone on the way, but he never stopped.

  In the blink of an eye, the boy has grown up. I wonder what he has experienced in these years. As the son of a rebel general in the previous dynasty, how did he become a guard in the Duke of Yue's mansion?

Chu Bin seemed to have seen through Xu Youtong's thoughts and explained, "Lord Fang was very kind to me, so I entered the Duke of Yue's mansion to repay him. As for my background, Lord Fang doesn't know."

He lied without changing his expression. Xu Youtong was suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said directly, "I don't know why Lord Fang ordered Master Chu to come here?"

"Lord Yan's death was suspicious. Jingzhao Yinfu has not yet found out the cause of death, but has already detained two daughters of noble families, one is an official appointed by the court, and the other has an imperial decree." Chu Bin's voice became a little deeper. "If Lord Xu fails to produce convincing evidence, it will be difficult to convince people. By then, I think not only the Yueguo Mansion, but also other noble families will be unable to sit still."

Xu Youtong's face was as dark as water, "What do you mean, Master Chu?"

"Even in the capital, the Jingzhao Yinfu has to follow rules and cannot do things arbitrarily." Chu Bin raised his eyebrows. "If the daughters of noble families like Lord Ouyang and Miss Fang can be controlled by the Jingzhao Yinfu, where is the dignity of the noble families?"

Xu Youtong clenched his fist under his sleeves and listened to Chu Bin talking to himself, "Lord Fang is kind-hearted, so he specially ordered me to remind Lord Xu that the interrogation of the two nobles can be postponed. The most urgent task is to find out the real cause of death of Lord Ran. If the truth is always concealed, it will inevitably..."

"Mr. Chu, the Jingzhao Yinfu doesn't need outsiders to teach us how to handle cases." Xu Youtong interrupted Chu Bin in a cold voice, but he was not annoyed at all. "It seems that Mr. Xu has listened to Mr. Fang's words, so I can go back to the mansion to report."
